Just 25 notes each if we can get 40 of us!! And I'm sure the Grand Fromage wouldn't mind chipping in, would you Dave??? ;)

Good idea,
not sure I want to share the tee shirt or sit on the lap of 39 other geezers though, maybe the freebiees could be raffled?

Somehow I have to question how they're going to let 1000 people have exclusive access to the pits etc. I think this is toss. At least the Racers Group were offering accomodation etc. last year.
Next they'll be posting on ebay too!

Suspect not - the Morgan website says that you will get race entrance and a reserved grandstand seat (so nothing different from what we normally do there) - the site quotes "The first 300 applications received will be allocated grandstand seats immediately opposite the Morgan pit. Others will be seated in nearby grandstands". As to access to the team/pits, it seems to be limited to - "Exclusive invitation to the team’s UK media launch and a Pre-race exclusive VIP private function to meet your fellow Official Partners from around the world, the drivers and the team, with special celebrity guests". The competition for the car only gets to be a reality if they get 1000 members.

first i start the year helping to sponsor the Kart world Mg entry for BTCC, then we add in a URL on the MG Factory outfit.
Now there is a chance to sponsor the Morgan. ..........
I would put in £25, But not till next pay day.

Wor Lass will go mad (again), but count me in. We can have a draw for the prizes/give-aways. £25 is worth it just for that sense of pride/ feel good factor every time it goes round the track(even though I though it was an ugly beast). Wasted a lot more on a night out. Come on lads (and lasses) dig deep.

It's got to be worth £25.
As Nordic suggested, we could raffle the freebies between us and if we win the car then we can either share it or sell it. Should get £40K for it so we'd end up with a grand each!! :)

Thats fine by me but seeing as I'm now committed for £25 and the morgan falls through, we can try TVR etc and see what our £1000 will get us. I'll be happy with a CA sticker on any british car.

I'm easy with my money going to any British outfit. (of the Le Mans type before anyone starts). We could ask TVR If we can have somes goodies and a CA sticker on for £1000. And a CA group photo would be nice standing round the car taken with Ricks flashy camera. Now that would definitly be worth £25 and could be done on the Friday morning (thats if they let us).

He's start easily and run smoothly come rain or shine.
Her's take ages to get going and are unpredictable.

I think of you as being a bit like a veteran car; you only "rally" a couple of times a year and when you do, you have to be started by hand! ;) ;D
The Commer is of course a transexual. A bit like it's owne.... Er? ??? ???

Face it lads, you can't polish a turd, even by sponsoring it.
I note you are not on the "list" Matt, can I take this as a "no" then??
Mornin' all. In truth, I admire anyone who has the gritty resolve and the dream to participate in this race. Even if they choose to attempt it in an idiosynchratic machine like the Aero 8, variety being the spice of life, and all.
That said, for me, admiration does not usually extend to forking out my hard earned to the cause - particularly if it's a lost cause. It's rather like backing a donkey in the Grand National, in my opinion.
I suspect that the Czars of Malvern (i.e. the Morgan family) are not short of a bob or two. The company might be a little light in the coffers, but ol' "plum in the mouth" Charles seems fairly well-heeled. Why doesn't he back his own product, the chinless in-bred bufoon?
The guys who are trying to run that car deserve respect, for the sheer enormity and hopelessness of the task. The manufacturer wants his namby-pamby arse kicking.
Just my 2c worth.... and it shouldn't be obvious that I had a bit of a run-in with Charles Morgan once - the tight-fisted twat.

I see where they are bringing one to Sebring. I give it about an hour before its a shambles. Between the Sebring bumps and the LMP & GTS guys bashing off of it, should be shedding bodywork with regularity.
